Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Metal Earth is one of the newest Hasbro licensees and they have brought their product line for display at Toy Fair 2015. These are 3D models that you put together! As of right now, the roster of releases includes:

Bumblebee

Megatron

Optimus Prime

And last, but not least, Soundwave

And the Toy Fair Display

These are currently available for preorder on BBTS right now. They're priced at $11.99 each and due to be released in April.

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

I did a Titanic model from this or some other similar company. It was an interesting, time-consuming experience. I wouldn't mind getting Soundwave at some point, both because he's the coolest and seemingly easiest of the lot.

Um, those are cool kits and for 11.99 for a neat display piece? yeah, I'll bite.

I have been into transformers since 1984. While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters. I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most partI'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy

They bend, fold and tab together. I've wanted to get one, but they kinda look scary in that i could screw up horrifically with even a minor misstep.

Yeah, don't buy these things. I purchased the r2d2 kit and I think the millennium falcon ones a couple of months ago, and the tabs broke IMMEDIATELY halfway through like the second step. Definitely not worth buying.

hmmmm that's one negative. Anyone else have experience with these things?

Given the dollar conversion and postage I don't want to be shelling out nearly $40 (rough guess) on something that might break easily.

YES!!! I'm snatching up this entire line. So stoked that Metal Earth is attempting this.

All right, for you nay-sayers and those who are insanely curious:These are NOT for the following - 1) Small children. Aw hell, I wouldn't give something like these to anyone under 15 to be honest 2)People with no patience. If you have no patience, you WILL screw these up. 3) Folks with no hand/eye coordination or a delicate touch. See point # 2 for the end result of such circumstances. And 4) which goes along with #3 actually, people with no grasp whatsoever of basic metal work. This **** is not paper, it does not react like paper or cardboard so if you are expecting it to then all previous points will come into play and your hopes for completion will come crashing down on you and you will screw this up.

Since I happen to meet or exceed all requirements and love these little mini statues and have all appropriate tools to work them (which I suppose should have been Point #5), I'll be snatching this stuff up!

I'm a cigar chomping, Energon guzzling, crotchety old bot that's tough as nails, two days older than dirt, can out grouch Ironhide, out-complain Huffer, leave Bluestreak speechless with a single glare and make Grimlock back down in a stare-off. If you're nice, and extremely lucky, I may only tell you to go blow it out your exhaust pipe!

Given you have to bend and twist metal, I think it best they stick with very blocky forms.

A fair point (though Optimal Optimus might be blocky enough to work), but let me rephrase: It'd be nice if they did some of these for those of us who have an attachment to something else rather than G1. I'm sure there's a handful that would work. Tankor comes to mind. RiD (2001) Ultra Magnus might work too, but that's probably irrelevant because he's not the "real" Magnus.

As long as it's something OTHER than Beast Wars. The show was good, but I HATED the entire toy line. RID, Unicron Trilogy, Animated, Prime? Fine by me. Beast Wars / Beast Machines? BLECCHHH.

1 - Definitely over 152 - I think I'd have enough patience for it.3 - OKay this might be a bit questionable for me. 4 - I don't know if I could say I have the basics or not5 - I work for an engineering company, I'll just go steal some tools from the Fitters.
